We live in an age of rapid innovation, but our infrastructure shows signs of rust and old age.  Under the shiny exterior of our new technology, some old and dusty infrastructure is carrying a weight it was never designed to hold.  This is glaringly true in the database world, which remains dominated by databases architected for a different age. These legacy NoSQL databases were designed for a different (nascent) cloud, different hardware, different bottlenecks, and even different programming models. 

Join us as Avishai Ish-Shalom shares his insights on the massive disconnect between the potential of a brave new distributed world and the reality of “modern” applications relying on fundamentally aged databases. We’ll cover:

• The changes in the operating environment of databases
• The changes in the business requirements for databases
• The architecture gap of legacy databases
• New designs for a new world
• How the adoption of modern databases impacts engineering teams and the products you’re building
